The developer of the country's first monorail has vowed success in the establishment of a modern city transportation mode, luring investors to take part in the US$600 million project. Jakarta Monorail director Sukmawaty Syukur said Wednesday that a consortium of banks in Dubai was expected to disburse the funds within one or two months.

This is fastly becoming an even more sad story than it already is. Funds seem to be found every several months, but then... nothing happens! The first news dates back to somewhere in 2003, and after almost three years, there is not much to be found of a monorail under construction.

The Jakarta monorail project is the biggest joke in this decade.
Why should they develop a seperate mass rapid transit (MRT) and monorail.
Sticking to one integrated technology is lot more feasable for both the city government and for example state company PT INKA.

For a technocratic Indonesia with foreign investors but not foreign owned Indonesian companies
